Perfect if short on time!

Jennifer_W, Jun 2025

Our guide Philippe was amazing! Very knowledgeable and accommodating. Picked us up at the airport, ran us around all day, and got us to our cruise ship on time. He knew all the answers to our questions and taught us a lot about Iceland.

Hello jennifer, It's reviews like this that are making our summer days even brighter! Thank you so much

Perfect tour from Reykjavik

Anson_B, Oct 2024

This trip is absolutely perfect for someone who has half a day or just over that to spend exploring. You see so many different things all in one trip, making you feel as though you've experienced so much of Iceland. My tour guide, Jón, was so informative and friendly, and he and the tour manager Julien were so easy to communicate with in the lead up to the tour. The car we travelled in was very comfortable and spacious and I love how you can customise your tour as you go along if there's certain things you are more interested in. I can't recommend this tour highly enough.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you so much for leaving a detailed review. You are right, Jón is an amazing guide and we are happy to have him as a part of our team!

One of the Best Tours Ever

Thomas_B, Jul 2023

Julien was marvelous. He made special arrangements to accommodate our schedule. Despite this, he included two stops that wasn't on the itinerary. This was one of the best tours that I have ever taken.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Hello Thomas, Sorry to answer to your review this late, I did not see it until now. I was happy to read that you spent a beautiful day. Looking forward to meeting you again
